One big FAMILY trip!

Our family has been looking forward to Island Park all year! The last weekend in July, we took the Liljenquist side of our family up to Blake's aunt and uncle's cabin for 4 days. We hauled the tent trailer (for a little extra room), four-wheelers, canoes, and bikes, and crammed as much fun in as we could! In the short time we were there, we . . . floated the river (twice!); showed the kids Yellowstone and Old Faithful for their first time and shared the road for 45 minutes with 6 buffalo; celebrated 3 birthdays (Kayla, Grandma Kris, Uncle Brody); four-wheeled all over Shotgun Village, hiked Coffee pot trail, and ate the best food around (thanks to everyone!) The boys are set on living at the cabin for the rest of the summer after this trip.

Breakfast and . . . we're off . . .

Floatin' our boat up Big Springs

Kayla and Taylor chatting each others ears off

Go real fast, okay Aunt Ashley!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Miss Kayla


(She was "ooohhhing" this Little Mermaid card - hence the facial expression)


Oh my goodness, not my own hair styling kit!!!!!


Floating Henry's Fork of the Snake River
(This time a little more peaceful - Kayla stayed back with Gramps to nap)




Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Coffee Pot Trail


Look Ellie, they want our picture because we climbed all the way up this huge rock!
